JASON E. FRANK

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Prof. dr. ir. Jason Frank (Hutchinson, Kansas, USA 1970)
earned B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in aerospace
engineering from the University of Kansas in 1992 and 1994.
In 1995 he worked as researcher in the mathematics departments at U.
Kansas and at CWI, Amsterdam.
From 1996 through 2000 he completed PhD studies in numerical analysis
at Delft University of Technology and CWI (PhD, T.U. Delft, April 2000)
with a dissertation on parallel computing methods for ordinary and
partial differential equations.
From 2000-2013 he was employed by CWI, Amsterdam as researcher in the
department Modelling, Analysis and Computation, and leader
of the research group MAC1 - Computational and Stochastic Dynamics. From 2010-2013 he was appointed Full Professor at the University of Amsterdam in
the Chair for Numerical Analysis and Dynamical Systems. In 2013 he was appointed professor of numerical Analysis at Utrecht University. His research addresses
geometric numerical methods for partial differential equations,
with applications in geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear waves.
